Dealing W/ Death, Insomnia, Anger Issues, Career Crisis, & Back Pain: Community Q&A Solo Show #317
Description
It’s been a few weeks, but we’re back with another Community Q&A show! All these questions were asked in The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group, and you all had some great questions as usual.
Before we get into it, I always like to remind you that this is not meant to be taken as medical advice. It's always best to check with a professional before making changes to your diet or lifestyle.
What I will be sharing today is a combination of my two decades in the health and wellness field based on my subjective experience and knowledge at this time.
08:19 — Kimberly asks: Has anyone dealt with insomnia coming on during/after a detox? I’m struggling to fall asleep during the 2nd part of my cycle. Any tips on what I can try?
- Could be any number of things
- Blue light
- Sleeping in too late - watch the sun rise for a few days
- Avoid caffeine after 4 PM
- Keep your room pitch black / dark
- Use an Ooler or ChiliPAD to keep your mattress cool
- Don't do work after dark
- Turn off WiFi at night
- Avoid EMF, have your home EMF inspected, and consider shielding your bedroom
- Avoid eating within a couple hours of bedtime
- Get some hydrocortisone / licorice root from Dr. Craig Koniver to help regulate circadian rhythm. Use code Luke10 for 10% off at www.koniverwellness.com/shop
- Use Dream by Sovereignty.co
- Use Sleep Formula by Quicksilver Scientific
- Use full-spectrum CBD from ONDA Wellness
24:05 — Stacey asks: Embarrassing question but, does anyone have any successful ways of dealing with anger issues? I’m normally pretty mellow but, when I get into something heated, I feel like I have a hard time walking away and keep it going. (P.S. this only happens with BF’s - never family or friends.)
- Do trauma work to get to the root of your triggers — breath work, plant medicines, EMDR, hypnosis, etc
- Do family of origin work at Onsite or the Hoffman Process
- Write 4th step or 10th step inventories as outlined in the 12 steps to discover your part in the drama
- Pause when agitated or doubtful, and remove yourself from the situation until your limbic system calms down
- Study The Work by Byron Katie and ‘do the work’ on each situation. This helps dispel stories your mind tells you about what's happening.
- Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it
- Do intimacy work around relationships to discover why/how you are act
